Day Camp with Half Day option
One of our fastest growing and most popular camps, The Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps at Arizona State University will offer three weeks of day camp this coming summer. Directed by Head Men’s Coach Matt Hill, these camps provide young players with the perfect preparation to get more involved with playing the game. Each camper receives personal attention, advanced teaching techniques, intensive drill work, and game/match play, in a fun and competitive environment.
During our traditional camp, we break the campers into small instructional groups of similar age and ability so each child is working in a group that is commensurate with their experience level. We tailor each program to the level of the players. Beginners would get a heavier dose of swing technique and fundamentals, while more advanced players would have more focus on strategy, point building, and percentage tennis, etc.
The Wilson Collegiate Tennis Camps are the premier camps for young players who strive to learn the game, improve their skills and/or participate in middle school, high school, USTA team tennis or tournaments.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CAMP INCLUDE:
- Comprehensive instructional program with daily teaching progressions
- Small instructional groups to ensure individual attention
- Safety prioritized on and off court
- Camp demo program with all the latest Wilson rackets
- Great Wilson Raffle and prizes for all campers

FACILITY
Whiteman Tennis Center
The Whiteman Tennis Center serves as the home to Arizona State’s nationally ranked men and women’s tennis teams. The original complex was dedicated May 8, 1976. It featured eight fully lit asphalt-based courts with a seating capacity of 1,200. Jack Whiteman, president of a local machinery company, paid the majority of the $300,000 it cost to build the tennis center. The Sun Devil Club also donated funds for the construction of the facility.
The facility includes men and women’s locker rooms, team areas, coaches’ offices and a training room. The lower level also features several shaded tables, while the second level features a shaded viewing terrace of the entire complex. Additionally, the Robson Player Facility can also be utilized for dinner and university functions.
